Tawana's first concert in Jin Ling arrived quickly.

Over these two days, Jin Ling residents have clearly felt the impact brought by Tawana.

Jin Ling now has many more people, hotels are fully booked, car rental companies have all their vehicles snatched up, roads are much more congested than before, and there is no longer any distinction between morning and evening rush hours.

Jin Ling's famous tourist attractions have also become crowded with people, everywhere are out-of-town tourists taking photos and checking in, even foreign tourists.

According to official reports, Jin Ling has seen a continuous influx of about four to five hundred thousand out-of-town tourists these past few days, and many tourists have already booked their train and plane tickets, they just haven't reached their travel time yet.

Ye Chen was initially puzzled: the four concerts together sold only ten to twenty thousand tickets, so how could there be so many out-of-town tourists?

Later he learned from the internet that many fans, although unable to buy tickets, still rushed to this place out of love for their idol, just to feel the idol's presence.

Moreover, it is said that on the day of Tawana's concert, the audience listening outside the venue was larger than the audience inside watching.

Many fans who couldn't get tickets were willing to fly over just to listen all night at the concert venue's entrance.

This is Tawana's powerful appeal, and the special economic effect generated by this appeal.

Xiao Changkun used to drive his Land Rover whenever he went out, even if Ma Lan asked him to go to the vegetable market to buy two scallions, he would definitely drive the Land Rover there, but these two days he has been so stuck in traffic that he doubts his life choices.

On the morning of the first concert, Xiao Changkun was already cursing at home: "Damn, what the hell concert is this, blocking the whole city into porridge, I usually take twenty to thirty minutes to drive to work, now it takes over an hour and I can't even make it."

Ye Chen laughed: "Dad, there are many out-of-town tourists these days, if you really can't, just don't drive, take the bus or subway."

Xiao Changkun said sullenly: "How long has it been since I last took the bus or subway, letting me squeeze with those losers on the subway, I feel it's beneath my status."

Ye Chen smiled helplessly.

This father-in-law of mine is a typical case: easy to go from frugal to extravagant, hard to go from extravagant to frugal.

Once he got the Land Rover, even if you gave him a Bentley Bentayga, he would still look down on it ten thousand times.

Xiao Churan had finished getting ready to go out, and before leaving she said to Ye Chen: "Husband, what time are we going to the venue this afternoon?"

Ye Chen casually replied: "It's not up to you, their concert starts at seven thirty and ends at ten thirty, I'll go over later to check the feng shui and see if anything needs attention, to give them guidance."

Xiao Churan thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll try to finish by four or five and come over, I'll call you then, trouble you to come pick me up."

"No problem." Ye Chen agreed, asking her: "How are you getting to work?"

Xiao Churan said: "I'll just grab a shared bike, now with this traffic, cycling is much faster than driving."

Ye Chen said concerned: "The weather is a bit cold, pay attention to keeping warm when cycling, pay attention to safety."

Xiao Churan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know."

After saying that, she asked Xiao Changkun: "Dad, do you want to ride a bike together?"

Xiao Changkun shook his head repeatedly: "I can't handle that, I think I'll just squeeze on the subway. More people means more warmth, at least."

Xiao Churan smiled and asked him: "Then do you want to go out together?"

"Okay." Xiao Changkun agreed, put down the Land Rover's car key, and prepared to change shoes and go out.

But just before leaving, he turned back again, slipped the Land Rover's key into his pocket, and then left.

Ye Chen felt curious inside, still thinking he would drive again, but when he looked at the window, the father-in-law hadn't driven either, but was walking out of the gate together with his wife Xiao Churan.

He still had some doubts in his heart, not knowing why the father-in-law turned back to get the car key.

But seeing his back, with one hand hanging the key on his waistband, he understood the father-in-law's intention.

Although the car couldn't be driven out, the key still needed to be carried on the body to help with showing off.

Seeing this scene, he could only sigh in his heart: Indeed, it's you……

Not long after, Ye Chen also left home alone.

After going out, he also grabbed a shared bike and rode to the Olympic Center.

He wasn't really going to give Tawana feng shui advice; mainly, today's performance was exclusively hosted by Changying Automobile, and Ye Chen wanted to check if there were any safety hazards on site, especially since many people who bought expensive tickets would try to sneak in when the audience started entering this afternoon, making security checks, ticket inspection, and identity verification the top priority.

If everything proceeds in order and the accuracy of identification verification can be guaranteed, then scalpers and those reselling high-priced tickets would lose their livelihood, and Ye Chen also wanted to witness the whole process firsthand.

When he arrived at the Olympic Center, the outside of the venue was already packed with people.

He couldn't understand why, since the performance starts in the evening, there are already so many people gathering now.

With difficulty passing through the staff passage, he came to the interior of the venue, and Tawana's agent brought him to the performance site.

At this moment, the stage has been completely built, the entire stage is T-shaped, the height of the background is almost level with the entire venue's ceiling, and such a tall stage background is actually made up of front-facing LCD screens pieced together.

Tawana is currently standing at the very front of the ladder platform, the on-site cameras captured her full-body image, which is projected onto the LCD background behind her, making her look like a mecha from a sci-fi film, several tens of meters tall.

A large group of staff members are communicating with Tawana via walkie-talkies, and Tawana herself is not holding a microphone, but uses the walkie-talkie on her waist to confirm positions and other issues with the staff.

The agent joked with Ye Chen: "The fans outside are really too enthusiastic; earlier he just tested the sound with a microphone and said 'check', and the outside fans started cheering wildly, the huge cheering sound made us unable to hear clearly what people face-to-face were saying, so we currently dare not output any sound through the sound system inside the venue."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile: "Understandable, after all, this is Tawana's first concert in Huaxia, for fans it's very commemorative, when I came earlier I was also surprised that so many people gathered here so early, I feel they must also be quite hardworking, but these people seem to be very happy each, I suppose this is the power of idols."

The agent nodded and asked him: "Mr. Ye, are you here to just look around or to rest backstage? Mr. Kennedy is backstage."

The Kennedy referred to by the agent is Tawana's boyfriend, Trevor Kennedy.

Ye Chen didn't think much, and directly said: "You go ahead with your work, don't worry about me, I'll just stand here."

The agent handed him two badges, saying: "Mr. Ye, these two badges are exclusive special advisors, containing anti-fake crystal cores, after you and your loved one wear them, you can freely enter any area of the concert venue, and this badge is universal for this Huaxia concert series, not only for today's show, but also for the nineteen subsequent concerts."

Ye Chen took them, smiling and saying: "Thank you."

The agent added: "If you still need more badges, just tell me anytime and I'll help you customize them; if there's any issue with these two, tell me and I can help you reissue them, then invalidate the lost ones."

"Good."
